1、Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?（）【阅读理解A】

A.Tipping is very popular in America

B.Better service deserves bigger tip

C.Discretionary tipping is not reasonable

D.Tipping embodies one\'s social status

正确答案:C

答案解析:A项仅仅指出了文中所论述的一个现象；B项是公众的普遍看法，并非作者的观点；D项是文章后面论述的一个次要观点，并不能概括全文的主旨。

2、Advertising are appreciated by manufacturers because they（）.【阅读理解A】

A.advise them on ways of giving a product customer appeal

B.accept responsibility fｏｒgiving a product customer appeal

C.advise them on the best time to go ahead with production

D.consult them during the design ａｎｄ　development stages

正确答案:B

答案解析:第二段The designer is busy enough without adding customer-appeal to all his other problems of man-hours and machine tolerances ａｎｄ　stress factors. So they just go ahead ａｎｄ　make the thing ａｎｄ　leave it to the advertiser to find eleven ways of making it appeal to purchasers after they have finished it, by pretending that it confers status, ｏｒattracts love, ｏｒsignifies manliness. If the advertising agency can do this authoritatively enough, the manufacturer is in clover.在产品设计和研发阶段，厂家可以有足够的时间来考虑而不必担心是否每个人都会买它。设计人员在忙于考虑诸如劳动力时间、机器强度以及压力因素时可以不考虑消费者喜好的因素。所以他们可以只管生产出产品然后让广告商通过声称此商品象征身份、地位，能够吸引爱情或是彰显男人魅力等，去寻找足够的理由来吸引消费者购买。倘若广告代理果真能做到足够令人信服，厂家则可高枕无忧了。因此选B。

C.that the holding of the babies on the left is the result of the predominance of left-handedness in the population

D.that the holding of the babies on the left is the result of the heart-beating on the right

正确答案:B

答案解析:推断题。78%的以左手为主的母亲也是左手兜住自己的孩子，与…it is obviously the result of the predominance of right-handedness in the population. By holding the babies in their left arms, the mothers keep their dominant arm free fｏｒmanipulations. “人们以右手为主的这种优势造成的结果。母亲用自己的左手抱住婴儿，从而就能腾出自己主要的手臂来从事各种操作。”相悖。因此选B。

A.Body temperature may serve as an indication of a worker’s performance

B.The selection of a number of permanent night shift workers has proved to be the best solution to problems of the round-the-clock working system

D.Disturbed sleep occurs less frequently among those on permanent night ｏｒday shifts

正确答案:B

答案解析:本题要求对4个选项进行判断，找出不符合文章意思的选项来。选项A符合第4段第2句的意思，因此不是答案。选项C符合文章第4段第4句的意思，因此也不是答案。选项D符合第3段中Brown的有关的发现，因此也不是答案。选项B说“挑选一批固定做夜班的工人（has proved to be the best solution）”。但是，文章第4段只是说，这似乎是（appears to be）最好的办法和长远之计，但并没有得到实际应用（见文章最后一句）。因此选项B不符合文章原意（NOT TRUE），这就是题目所要求的答案。
